      Most actors play younger than their age to give the character some charisma and depth for the role. That’s why a lot of child actors are usually just short for their ages.

    I think the thing that's so weird about seeing him in real life is that we are used to voice actors that look different then the fictional characters they portray, but I guess it does make sense for FIFA to do that. With the face-scanning technology they already use for real player faces, they most likely found it convenient to use that for Adetomiwa Edun as well instead of creating a new design by scratch.

    I feel like Alex Hunter’s story is very similar to Kylian Mbappe’s but its not based on him because Kylian was good during the season that The Journey was released. They even shared the same number until Kylian switched!

    Im halfway through the Journey in Fifa 19, (finished 17 and 18’s stories too) and I just started watching Lucifer on Netflix, lovin the show and it just put a smile on my face when I saw Adetomiwa in one of the episodes as a one-off guest character, felt rather weird to be buliding Alex Hunter’s character one moment and watching “him” in a show the next 😂

      Not calling you a racist, but looking at someone and thinking they used to sell drugs/attack other youths on the streets and other anti-social activity (that is what a roadman is) with no other reason than "I just get that vibe" is profiling someone.
